THE URANTIA BOOK
2. ARRIVAL OF ADAM AND EVE
 Adam and Eve fell asleep on Jerusem, and when they awakened in
the Father's temple on Urantia in the presence of the mighty throng
assembled to welcome them, they were face to face with two beings of
whom they had heard much, Van and his faithful associate Amadon. These
two heroes of the Caligastia secession were the first to welcome them
in their new garden home.
The tongue of Eden was an
Andonic dialect as spoken by Amadon. Van and Amadon had markedly
improved this language by creating a new alphabet of twenty-four
letters, and they had hoped to see it become the tongue of Urantia as
the Edenic culture would spread throughout the world. Adam and Eve had
fully mastered this human dialect before they departed from Jerusem so
that this son of Andon heard the exalted ruler of his world address him
in his own tongue.
And on that day there was great
excitement and joy throughout Eden as the runners went in great haste
to the rendezvous of the carrier pigeons assembled from near and far,
shouting: "Let loose the birds; let them carry the word that the
promised Son has come." Hundreds of believer settlements had
faithfully, year after year, kept up the supply of these home-reared
pigeons for just such an occasion.
As the news of
Adam's arrival spread abroad, thousands of the near-by tribesmen
accepted the teachings of Van and Amadon, while for months and months
pilgrims continued to pour into Eden to welcome Adam and Eve and to do
homage to their unseen Father.
Soon after their
awakening, Adam and Eve were escorted to the formal reception on the
great mound to the north of the temple. This natural hill had been
enlarged and made ready for the installation of the world's new rulers.
Here, at noon, the Urantia reception committee welcomed this Son and
Daughter of the system of Satania. Amadon was chairman of this
committee, which consisted of twelve members embracing a representative of each of the six Sangik
races; the acting chief of the midwayers; Annan, a loyal daughter and
spokesman for the Nodites; Noah, the son of the architect and builder
of the Garden and executive of his deceased father's plans; and the two
resident Life Carriers.
 The next act was the delivery of the charge of planetary
custody to Adam and Eve by the senior Melchizedek, chief of the council
of receivership on Urantia. The Material Son and Daughter took the oath
of allegiance to the Most Highs of Norlatiadek and to Michael of
Nebadon and were proclaimed rulers of Urantia by Van, who thereby
relinquished the titular authority which for over one hundred and fifty
thousand years he had held by virtue of the action of the Melchizedek
receivers.
And Adam and Eve were invested with
kingly robes on this occasion, the time of their formal induction into
world rulership. Not all of the arts of Dalamatia had been lost to the
world; weaving was still practiced in the days of Eden.
Then was heard the archangels' proclamation, and the broadcast
voice of Gabriel decreed the second judgment roll call of Urantia and
the resurrection of the sleeping survivors of the second dispensation
of grace and mercy on 606 of Satania. The dispensation of the Prince
has passed, the age of Adam, the third planetary epoch, opens amidst
scenes of simple grandeur; and the new rulers of Urantia start their
reign under seemingly favorable conditions, notwithstanding the
world-wide confusion occasioned by lack of the co-operation of their
predecessor in authority on the planet.
